When the AI boom began, copywriters were singled out as one of the jobs most vulnerable to AI. Now, three years later, I wanted to hear from workers on the frontlines of the industry, to hear what had actually taken place on the ground.
For many, it was even worse than they'd feared.

Copywriters were one of the first to have their jobs targeted by AI firms. These are their stories, three years into the AI era.

"The work that client firms are settling for is not better when it’s produced by AI, but it’s cheaper, and deemed 'good enough.'”
This is exactly what I feared. Not that AI would replace good writing (it can't), but that good writing would cease to be valued

This needs to be driven into the heads of every MAGA member of our Congress in the House and Senate because it includes each and every one of them. It exposes them as having exactly the same mindset as Donald J. Trump.

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes?
That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

Blaming every Israeli for Netanyahu is like blaming every American for Trump or every Russian for Putin or every Chinese person for Xi.
Yet people want to destroy or end Israel & only Israel.
There's so much hate & racism against Jewish people & too many give it a pass.

If a Dem/Leftist of any stripe wants to actually have a strong message against Republican BS on this, that picture is exactly what you need to use against all this anti-trans shit that the Right is trying to pull.
"Say 'no' to the potty police!" is also a slogan you can use as well.

Perfect encapsulation of what RW culture wars inevitably boil down to: Endless police and surveillance of *everyone* not just the trans people they claim to be trying to "protect women" against.
It's also why it's wrong to capitulate to the Right on this issue, this is where it leads to, period.
